America's 5 best BBQ hot spots
I've been to 2 of 5. I knew the one in Urbana, IL was amazing...and I've tried everything in Kansas and Illinois and my two favorite are definitely 2 and 5 on this list. Champaign has a really good BBQ place called Hickory River, as well. Amazing that I grew up in Kansas and lived in Dallas and 2 of my top 3 BBQ joints are in Champaign, Urbana. This list gives me a little vindication I guess. I'm not crazy after all!

The Hy-Vee on 350 Highway has not had for a few months now. Excellent sauce, will definitely need some for some summer time cooking.

I should also add the fries taste different than what I remember. Without dipping them in BBQ sauce they tasted like those cheap pizzas you buy at the store minus the marina sauce. |

Not to break any hearts, but OK Joe's is the culmination of a bunch of white folk from Johnson County. I have an old video with Jeff Stehney in the driveway of his Prairie Village home cooking up some Q that would become OK Joe's.

Good BBQ transcends race in KC. Black dudes and white dudes, all smoke like serious MoFo's in our town.

Good Q has always had a link to African Americans. Skinny white dudes kill it. That's all. |

Actually, the East Side of KC is mostly Hispanic now. Everything from just East of downtown out to about Bennington Ave near the Blue River. Northeast HS and East HS, lots of Hispanics.
I drive back and forth on Truman Road to work every day right through it. |

Just left Austin this morning and that is the second time in 2 weeks that Bob Dole has read that name. Bob Dole will have to try it when Bob Dole goes back later this month.

Lets hear it for bb's and Hillsdale Bank BBQ. Many bbq joints are good. Few are great. Borh of these approach greatness. HB for food. BB's for all the rest

Sorry, I'm not too savvy on my Missouri geography. I'm a Californian who was at a national sports car meet. We got to drive laps on the I-70 Speedway. All I know is that Zarda is among the best BBQ I've had. I don't know the GPS coords for it.
Funny that nobody else here has ever been to the Hickory Hut in Salina Kansas. Hole in the wall with meat and sauce to die for back in 2009. Who knows now but when I was there, it was just killer.

I was born 25 miles from Salina, in McPherson. I've eaten at the Hickory Hut many many times. It started out as just a little piece of shit mobile home selling BBQ sammiches in the 80's. But the BBQ was decent. It got a lot better as time went on, but even after all these years it would still be pretty far down the list compared to KC places. It's still there, I ate there last summer, and still drive by it pretty frequently.
